On New Year's Eve, I prepare a feast. The clock strikes twelve, but my husband, Vincent Porter, still isn't home. My daughter, Lorelei Porter, tugs at my sleeve and holds up my phone. "Look Mommy, Daddy is at this lady's house!" Vincent has posted an update on Twitter. He is with Christine Snow, his childhood sweetheart. They are smiling at the camera, with a boy who looks about ten standing between them. In front of them sits a swan-shaped cake. The caption reads, "The most special day for the most special you." My heart sinks into my stomach. A marriage that came later in life can never compete with a pair of childhood sweethearts. I accept defeat.

Her school's basketball team hasn't won a game in months and the board is ready to replace her. Desperate to keep her job, Pearl does the unthinkable.

From a simple girl doing menial jobs to survive, to a “beast” locked away in a dungeon. Ivory was framed for killing the Alpha of her pack and thrown into the dungeon for months, injected with chemicals that clouded her mind and twisted her from a sweet, ordinary girl into someone aggressive and uncontrollable. And so, people began to whisper that she was “crazy.” Then came Alpha Rowan, the Obsidian Wolf and ruler of Snowfall pack. He came to Moonlight pack, in search of something important. That was when he found Ivory, caged and defiant. He knew, without a doubt, that she was his mate, and he took her back to his pack. As the drugs began to wear off, sparks ignited, enemies closed in, secrets unraveled, and a truth far more shocking than anyone imagined came to light. Will this truth be able to prove Ivory's innocence, or would she be dragged back to the dungeons to rot forever?

My coworker, Kevin Walter, invited me to join a private messaging chat group of rich women. There are plenty of perks, such as the 300-dollar cash gift he claimed right in front of me. I joined the group out of curiosity and got to know a wealthy woman named Ms. White. After some time together, she invited me on a vacation to a famous tourist city near the country's border. Little did I know, I was close enough to being dragged into a dangerous area abroad to become a live organ donor.

"We are not real mates and did not marry for love. It was a contract. A business transaction. You cannot tell me that you suddenly feel hurt by the fact that I slept with another woman." ***** For five years, Elara was the perfect Luna to Asher Blackwood. As an orphan with no one else, she stabilized his pack and gave him her heart—only to be discarded on their anniversary. When his first love, Lillian, returns pregnant, Asher throws Elara into a dungeon to make room for his ‘true’ family. But Elara is more than an orphan. Rescued by three powerful alpha brothers she never knew, she is brought to the territory of Kaden—the cold, merciless Alpha of Caelthorn pack who turns out to be her mate. Kaden doesn’t believe in fate or feelings. He offers her a political marriage for protection, warning her never to expect love. Yet as ancient fire awakens in Elara’s blood, the cold Alpha finds himself drawn to her in ways he never imagined. Now, Asher is desperate to reclaim his contract. Lillian is dying for Elara’s magic. And Elara? She refuses to be anyone's pawn. He broke the contract; this time, she’ll rather burn in hell than go back to him.

*His eyes scanned my bruised face, searching for answers. A careful, gentle hand caressed my cheek, intensifying the turmoil in his gaze. "He did this to you." It wasn't a question; it was a statement. But I couldn't find my voice, trapped in frozen silence. Fear gnawed at my skin as I stood amidst cold-blooded killers, surrounded by chaos and lifeless bodies. And as he held the gun, I knew more bodies would soon drop.* *** To everyone else, she was a nobody. A vessel for their perverse desires, a desperate pawn willing to fulfill their every whim. A nearsighted girl, finding solace only within the pages of her books, a portal to escape reality. But what they failed to grasp was that behind those innocent blue eyes lurked a devil, dependent on her happiness, hiding in the shadows and watching over her. And that devil was prepared to sacrifice everything for her. The scariest part? She had no clue. *"Why do you act like you're in love with me?" "Jesus, Lily," he growled, "I TATTOOED YOUR NAME ON MY FUCKING CHEST!"*
